On Tyrion and fAegon This doesn’t specifically concern Jonerys matters, but it came to me last night as I was writing about the North and Targaryen conspiracy. Why was bookTyrion brought to JonCon and co? What was the point? It’s pretty clear, from the first Tyrion POV chapters in ADWD, that Illyrio Myopatis is up to... Continue Reading →
Do your research Jorah…
The Dragonpit misunderstanding When Missandei, in 7x07, ask Jorah “why did they built it?” in reference to the Dragonpit, Jorah’s answer (from memory) is: “Dragons don’t understand what’s theirs and what’s not. Crops, lands, children… letting them roam free around the city was a problem.” So later on, when Dany laments that “They (dragons) filled people with wonder and... Continue Reading →
BookJonerys and R+L=J
t Jonerys subtext in ASOS tatticstudio55 About Jon’s POV chapter when he leaves Ygritte and the wildlings and run back to Castleblack. This chapter was interesting to analyse from a R+L=J point alone, but Jonerys clues here and there made it even better. For instance, when Jon and the wildlings halts in a deserted village...

asoiaf Dany – book 1
On wargs, skinchangers, and Daenerys’s fever dream Daenerys is usually associated with fire magic and magic that’s related to R’hollor, whereas Jon is more on the side of the old gods, old magic and such: wargs, skin-changers, direwolves… curiously, however, there might be at least one – very significant – encounter between Daenerys and primal...

On Jon and the “necessity” of kneeling
(Again) Why Jon bend the knee if he “didn’t have to” I probably covered this matter before in reblogs and comments, but I’ll just lay it out properly once and for all. No, Jon didn’t “bend the knee” in an attempt to manipulate Dany. Not on my watch. I can see AT LEAST two very good reasons... Continue Reading →
Choosing the beast
Jon&Dany parallels in ASOS, ADWD in “…the gruesome detail of the boar eating barsena’s guts spilling out is shown but then drogon comes in and not only attacks the boar and eats it but also barsena’s body and then someone tries to attack drogon in the pits and dany decides to choose him over the people...

Let’s dig up old myths
Jonerys and the myth of Orpheus& Eurydice “Only a few feet away from the exit, Orpheus lost his faith and turned to see Eurydice behind him, but her shadow was whisked back among the dead, now trapped in Hades forever.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpheus_and_Eurydice) There is an orphic “something” to the Jon/Dany storylines, especially when put side by...

GOT 7×02-7×06
On the setting at Dragonstone I love how the castle and weather on Dragonstone relates to Daenerys’s journey, mood and/or state of mind. Episode 7x01: the party reach Dragonstone at early sunset (judging by the dimming light and orange-ish sky color), symbolizing Dany’s beginning of the end of her journey. The castle is cold and...

GOT 7×03-7×06
“I’m a prisoner on this island” (This isn’t only referring to Jon) It came to me last night that, although Jon claims in 7x03 that he’s a prisoner on Dragonstone, he might not be the only one feeling that way. Let me rephrase. Jon say he’s a prisoner. Daenerys is a prisoner. “It’s too great of a... Continue Reading →
J and D in the B
Daenerys is Jon’s hero “Daeron Targaryen was only fourteen when he conquered Dorne,” Jon said. The Young Dragon was one of his heroes. “A conquest that lasted a summer,” his uncle pointed out. “Your Boy King lost ten thousand men taking the place, and another fifty trying to hold it. Someone should have told him... Continue Reading →
